When Gender Selection is Illegal in your Country- Travel Options for Gender Selection

Gender Selection is illegal in many parts of the world. It is not legal to choose the gender of your baby in Canada, the UK, Europe and Australia. Even if it is not available in your home country, Gender Selection is still available to you with some travel involved. Many, many families travel to the US from abroad seeking family balancing. Many clinics have set up programs for those that have or choose to travel for Gender Selection.

The US is not your only option. Gender Selection is performed in limited locations around the world and sometimes under specific conditions.

Israel has offered Gender Selection since 2005 to parents with 4 or more children of the same gender. Israeli parents who have at least four children of the same sex and want one of the other sex can apply to a health ministry committee for approval of preimplantation genetic diagnosis at their own expense.

In Europe, families can travel to Cyprus, Prague and Jordan for Gender Selection. It is openly offered in those locations. Outside of Europe, Superior ART in Bangkok and Phuket both offer Gender Selection. Superior ART is affiliated with Genea (formerly Sydney IVF).

The old adage ‘where there’s a will, there’s a way’ sometimes holds true for those willing to go the extra mile, sometimes literally.

Within our Discussion Forums, we have women that have traveled to all of these locations that are willing to help and support others through the process. We can recommend clinics, doctors and even help with travel accommodations!

So, if you have ever dreamed of having that daughter or son and thought it was only a dream, we can help bring it to life. Join us today in our forums for all of the specific detail you need to start the process. We are here to help!
